Johnson requests sacrifice in biggest budget plan
President Johnson urged higher taxes and fees to fund a record $135 billion budget for fiscal 1968. He warned against deep cuts or larger tax hikes, tied the plan to Vietnam costs, and proposed a 6 percent income tax surcharge with increased Social Security taxes. The budget includes $67 billion for defense and shifts toward gradual deployment of antiballistic defenses, while deferring major deployment pending talks with the Soviet Union.

Campaign Pot Of Gold May Mirage For 1968 Campaigns
New Orleans AP Republicans learned the $60 million tax checkoff for future presidential campaigns may be a mirage less than the amount hoped. Fred C. Scribner Jr. said actual receipts will be far below $30 million per party and may deter private contributions. He warned funds may not be available until early 1968 and reimbursements come after Sept. 1. Bliss noted flaws in the law and said a separate organization might be needed to handle presidential money. A special committee will choose a site for the 1968 nominating convention with bids from San Francisco Seattle Chicago and Miami.
